Can you please update the steps to debug this HAL plugin?

Just print messages to the console.

Trying to understand how it has been written and understanding HAL Plugin(since Kernel Drivers will be soon obsoleted especially with M1 chipset macs) https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/CoreAudioOverview/CoreAudioEssentials/CoreAudioEssentials.html.

The debug messages are sent to the console. Not sure what else to add. If you have any specific questions let me know. Devin

Which console?
I am able to build the plugin and copy to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins. it works but where does it logs messages? Any tips to share that were helpful during developing this HAL Plugin?

Console is an Mac App that system logs all the system logs. All debug messages can be found there. Devin

Do I need to create the mac app or is there an example/sample app that I can use? Can you please provide details.

[devinroth]

Just do a spotlight search for console. You’ll find it. Devin

Hello again, is there a template that was used to write this driver? Please post the important links that were useful during the development. A good tutorial would be really helpful. Thanks!

[devinroth]

If you are interested in developing your own, you are on your own. All the information is available on the web and through reading the API/docs/headers. I am not interested in holding your hand through the process. Devin
